Questions & Answers

8 Customer Questions

Is it okay for Leopard Geckos?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 19, 2019
This sand may not be the most suitable substrate for leopard geckos as there is a risk of ingestion which could lead to impaction.

How much would I need for a 40 gallon tank?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 24, 2019
We suggest using 1 pound of substrate per gallon, to achieve a 1 inch bed or 2 pounds per gallon, for a 2 inch deep bed. For a 40 gallon tank, this would be 40-80 pounds, depending on the depth needed.

Can this be used in an aquarium safely?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 06, 2018
This sand is for use in a terrarium, it is not recommended for use in an aquarium.

Would this be good for a tarantula

Answer by Chewy • Jan 31, 2021
This sand substrate is not recommended for a tarantula. The best substrate options to allow a tarantula to burrow well would be coco fibre, topsoil, or a peat moss mixture. The most important thing is to ensure that you pack your substrate down hard. This allows your tarantula to construct a burrow a lot easier than if it was loose.
